Tong Manyun clutched her stomach and cried loudly, “Ran Ran, you are so cruel! We are your parents, how can you treat us like this?!”
“Can’t we solve our own family problems properly behind closed doors? Why do we have to involve the police? We didn’t short-change your clothes, didn’t short-change your residence, and even provided you with an education. Did we do anything wrong? You just want to make other people think that our family is a joke!”
“Ahhh…” Her face looked pained. “My stomach hurts so much. Ah, my baby. I can’t breathe. Doctor… Doctor…”
Yan Xia was having a headache because of the two of them. However, the other party was a pregnant woman. He couldn’t afford something really happening to her.
The young policeman asked in a low voice, “Brother Yan, what should we do now?”
Jiang Yu crossed her arms and looked at Yan Xia coldly as if she was saying, ‘Useless, you can’t even handle such a small thing’.
She walked over and grabbed Tong Manyun’s wrist. “Your body’s just fine. Why are you pretending?”
“What nonsense are you talking about?! Do you know anything about medicine?”
“Then call 120[1] and go to the hospital for a checkup. No one is obligated to pay for your medical expenses anyway.” Jiang Yu took out her phone and looked at her coldly. “Do you want to call?”
“No, no, no!” Tong Manyun reached out to stop her. Seeing Jiang Yu’s half-smile, she knew that she had been tricked, so she tried to cover it up. “I… I’m a little better now. I don’t need to go to the hospital anymore…”
Ji Churan sighed.
She couldn’t bear to watch this charade any longer.
“Alright. Since so many people are here today, please bear witness for me.”
Ji Churan said slowly, “My father abuses me and my mother supports him. In your eyes, this may not mean anything, but I can’t accept it.”
“Fine, you’re my parents. I can’t be ‘unfilial’ and sue you. Instead, from today onwards, I am severing all ties with you. I will never set foot in this house again, and please, I beg that you never look for me!”
Jiang Yu had already protected her so much. She had to be brave for once.
“Hmph, you wretched girl! At least you still have a conscience!” Ji Guomin raised his chin. “Officer, did you hear that? She said she won’t sue me. Why aren’t you letting me go?”
Although Yan Xia was unwilling, he still got someone to remove the handcuffs.
Ji Guomin rolled his eyes and said shamelessly, “Alright, since you want to leave, we won’t stop you. All the things in the house, we bought them for you. You can’t take anything!”
Ji Churan agreed without thinking. “Alright.”
“You’ll pay for all your own school fees in the future. I won’t pay for your school fees anymore!”
Ji Churan retorted, “The school fees were paid for by my own work. What does it have to do with you?”
She pulled on Jiang Yu. “Xiao Yu’er, let’s go.”
“Wait, you can’t Leave!” Ji Guomin shouted. “She broke my door and hasn’t paid for it yet!”
“300 yuan, is that enough?”
Ji Churan took out 300 yuan from her wallet, threw it on the ground, and without a second look, she walked away.
Jiang Yu followed behind. Before she left, she looked back at Ji Guomin and said coldly, “If you dare cause trouble for her in the future, well, you’re free to try.”
Her tone was full of threat. As Ji Guomin shouted, “Officer, look at her threatening me!”, she put her hands in her pockets and left.
Ji Churan and Jiang Yu walked for a while without saying anything. When they left the neighborhood, she realized that Jiang Zeyu and his friend were standing at the entrance of the neighborhood.
“I called them here.”
Jiang Yu said calmly, “Let’s go look for a home.”
